Alright guys, let's use this one for now. Spamming will not be allowed. We need to keep that sort of traffic down so the server doesn't crash as it has in years past.

THIS IS FOR LEGITIMATE RUMORS ONLY. CITE ANY AND ALL RUMORS YOU POST.

Additionally, make sure to label your speculation for what it is: SPECULATION.

[Made Dan]

Would definitely be interested in Glencross.

 

[silverfish]

If we're not going to buy, then why aren't we selling and trying to build some picks/players to be useful around here in the future?

Standing pat is a terrible decision, IMHO.

Interested, to say the least, in what Slats and co. have in store for today and tomorrow.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I'd be fine with attempting to get something out of guys like Boyle and Asham.

No blockbusters this year.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Trade Boyle, Gaborik and Pyatt, get quality prospects and draft picks and call it a day

 

[UlfNilsson]

No trades for the sake of trading, please.

 

[rangers5000]

sather better deal gaborik today, look for the best deal then make some minor dealings tomorrow

 

[Mkhizgilov]

Okay guys im at work so cant really go through the past threads just to catch up on everything what players are Rangers said to have interest in? (not who you assume but what was reported/rumored). I saw mention of Glencross anyone else?

With this market, I hold till draft day.

Just Glencross, Clowe and maybe St. Louis. And Dan Boyle.

 

[Theon]

I wonder if Sather has any interest in Eric Nystrom. Dallas is letting guys go for cheap it seems and he could be worth a late pick.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Well, honestly, I think the logic is you'd be getting a guy who, despite his age, would instantly be the best forward on this team. Obviously the risk is the question of "When is he going to finally hit the wall?" That's not even taking into account the asking price, which I imagine would be pretty scary.

He's also another RW.

Posting in a locked thread.

I love MSL and I agree that he would instantly be a superhero on this team but I don't get the logic because I don't see why Tampa would trade him to us. What do we really have to offer?

I've also seen Gaborik for MSL proposals which make even less sense.

 

[rangers5000]

With this market, I hold till draft day.

if we can get 2 or 3 key pieces back from wings/sabres/sharks sather should do it

boyle/clowe would be nice

then move on to steve ott or tootoo

Whateva! Whateva! I do what I want!

I don't see a deal to be made. I think they'd probably want a defensemen in the deal and we don't have any to give up.

Folks, please keep the speculating/random proposals to a minimum. And if you must present random proposals or general speculation, please make sure to label them very clearly as such. People will be checking this thread regularly for actual completed/rumored trades, so we want to keep confusion to a minimum. Thanks.

 

[NikC]

Standing pat, is resigning yourself to possibly missing the playoffs, which would be a disaster. Regardless about how this team looks this season, it's an anomaly move on. We must get into the post season. We owe our all star goalie that right!

We've got practically $28m wrapped up in Lundqvist, Nash, Gaborik and Richards, we haven't exactly used this season to develop youth.... get your @ss in the playoffs!!

 

[Ail]

Glencross is the only player rumored thus far that would be a smart addition going forward. No god damn rentals and old people!

Move Gaborik at the draft.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Maybe acquire Clowe or Glencross. Don't get into a bidding war.

Frankly, I'm fine with standing pat - I'm content with Zuccs and possibly Fasth being our deadline additions.

 

[RGY]

Glencross is the only player rumored thus far that would be a smart addition going forward. No god damn rentals and old people!

Move Gaborik at the draft.

I agree on both Glencross and moving Gaborik at the draft.

I know you said no old people but I wouldn't be opposed to MSL if it actually had a chance of happening.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Completely agree. Get on the trade with Calgary bandwagon before their GM is fired for being so incompetent.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

I honestly don't think Sather does much at the deadline.

 

[16 To Stanley*]

‏@KatieStrangESPN #Isles No progress in talks between Islanders and captain Mark Streit on a contract extension.

Streit on the block. Boston still in the market for a D-Man, per Garrioch.

Garrioch says Streit is on the block, or we're speculating based on slow contract talks?

Can you put the rumor quotes in the first post of this thread so we don't have to read thru the pages to get a quote here and there ..... please

 

[Jabroni]

Jagr to BOS. (maybe)

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 1m
Conditional 2nd rounder BOS will give DAL in Jagr deal becomes a 1st rounder if BOS wins two playoff series. BTW, deal still not official.
